I really like Roy Hodgson as a guy and he did a cracking job at Fulham but if you look back at videos of him when he was at Blackburn he looked stressed a lot of the time. Compare that to the composed Roy Hodgson over the last few years. Now either he's changed OR he can't handle top level jobs due to the pressure. I hope I'm wrong as I'd like him to succeed.

I feel sorry for Roy, speaking as a Fulham fan I was looking forward giving him a heroes welcome when Liverpool visit the cottage next year but at the current rate he will be back in charge of a team no ones heard of in Scandinavia before xmas.

I feel a bit sorry for Woy to be fair, not only is he trying to change tactics the team has been playing for the best part of the last 5/6 years, he's inherited a club in turmoil off the pitch to boot. I think in Europe they are more patient and understand that a club sometimes has to reduce it's expectations whilst restructuring happens, where as here we expect the level to stay the same regardless.

I wonder if Manure fans will be as patient when Sir red nose retires and they end up doing something similar?

As long as we stay up I feel that Roy should be given the time to sort the team out.
Unfortunately staying up is far less than most Liverpool fans expect.
Either way it appears the club has a struggle ahead.

I'd say it's a lot more demanding in the Spanish and Italian leagues with regard to expectations of the 'big' clubs. German clubs are possibly a bit more patient though.

He'll be out of the job by Christmas. Don't know why he took it, everyone knew it was a poisoned chalice and I bet he wishes he'd stayed at Fulham now!

At this rate, I don't think he'll last that long. It depends as much on who & when the new owners are in charge. He may get the bullet before then of course, as it makes Liverpool much more difficult to sell, if they are in the bottom 3.

I'll give you Poulsen he's been shocking, but Meireles? he's been quality for years and has already shown a glimpse of what he's capable of, give him time and he could turn out to be one of your best players bar none.
